Not being built-in is significant. Infotainment systems tend to get outdated, and are also a common point of failure that can be expensive to fix, so not having the tablet hardwired in allows for people to choose their own setup and is also more future-proof. | ||||||||

The automakers aren't going to provide an open API to the vehicle control systems, for both competitive and safety reasons. What would be nice is the old fashioned DIN interface, where you could install an aftermarket AA/CarPlay unit like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pioneer-10-1-hd-screen-luminous... | ||||||||
